Teeth add glamour to your appearance and help a person to eat food. You may have an incomplete set of teeth because of tooth decay, gum disease, and missing teeth. When all the teeth are extracted or go missing the person is advised a complete set of artificial teeth to be able to eat and speak properly. Teeth are necessary to prevent the facial skin from sagging. Missing teeth can be replaced with the help of artificial removable teeth called dentures.

A skin colord acrylic base is fixed snugly over the gums when a person is recommended full dentures Philadelphia PA by the dentist. The upper denture’s base is positioned right above the roof of the mouth called palate, and the lower denture has a horseshoe like shape. A dental laboratory can make the dentures customized according to a person’s mouth, teeth and gum size.

Full dentures may be placed inside the mouth when all the teeth are extracted and the underlying tissues and tooth socket heal properly. This process cannot be done overnight and the healing and placement of full dentures Philadelphia PA, may take months. Sometimes a removable denture that is customized according to the size of the mouth of the patient is placed inside the mouth on the same day of extractions.

It is necessary to keep getting the denture adjusted because when the teeth are extracted from the supporting bone, the area is still in the healing process. The bone keeps changing shape during the healing process, and because of this shrinking, the denture has a tendency to become loose and bounce about. Immediate dentures need many adjustments before they snugly and comfortably fit over the gums.
